Intro

Tsuumi Dance Theatre and Teatteri Metamorfoosi produce a dance theater interpretation of German playwright Falk Richter's play TRUST. TRUST examines trust and its vulnerability in a capitalist world, where individuals live in the midst of global crises, uncertainty and rapidly emerging and disintegrating human relationships. In a world that emphasizes individualism and celebrates the ideal of freedom. It asks how we can trust technology, each other - or even ourselves?

Ticket sales start in Autumn 2025.

I’M LIKE MONEY, everyone wants me and lots of it

but I don’t manage to make anyone happy.

TRUST is an explosive performance that combines dance, theater and digital media. It's captivating, fast-paced, annoying, imaginative, addictive, humorous, and completely controlled by someone else… just like a TikTok video. TRUST takes the viewer on a taxi ride from big metropolises to the bottom of the sea, to parties where karaoke singers peel their skin, and to a luxurious skyscraper that is destroyed by artificial intelligence. And the audience is constantly asked the question: who can you trust?

everything has become so safe in these past few years
everything has become so safe
I am guided by an electronic navigating system that tells me exactly where to go
Guides me from outer space to absolute precision
.

Falk Richter is a German screenwriter and director known for his provocative and thought-provoking works. Richter's plays have been translated into more than 25 languages ​​and his performances are performed around the world to full audiences. TRUST, written by Richter, was born in the middle of the financial crisis, but its themes are more relevant today than ever.
